A high quality raspberry, Amira has good taste and sweetness and can last 3 to 4 days longer in storage than other types without losing its juice. In modified atmosphere storage, Amira can last for two or three weeks with only a slight change in colour.
Amira is ready for harvest about a week before Tulameen.
